Techniques involving replication of virtual machines of virtual machines in a clustered environment are described. One representative technique includes receiving a replication request to replicate a primary virtual machine. A clustering broker is configured to act on the replication request on behalf of a cluster of recovery nodes, by at least placing a replicated virtual machine corresponding to the source virtual machine on a recovery node and facilitate tracking the migration of the replicated virtual machine within the cluster. The clustering broker returns an address of the recovery node that has been placed or found through tracking for the particular virtual machine.

A system and method for enabling routing of data on a network based on a portion of data accessed from a non-network enabled device is disclosed. The technology includes a method for enabling routing of data on a network based on a portion of data accessed from a non-network enabled device. The method includes detecting a non-network enabled device locally coupled to a first computer system, the first computer system coupled to the network. The method further includes enabling routing of data through the non-network enabled device to a second computer system coupled to the network by using the first computer system as a communication interface between the non-network enabled device and the second computer system wherein the second computer system is automatically identified based on recognizing a portion of the data as a routing destination.

A fax account is described and creates an association between users and documents that are faxed. A fax account allows a user to secure their faxed documents and organize and streamline fax communication via different transports. In at least some embodiments, security is enhanced through the use of an authentication model that authenticates individual users before giving them access to the fax functionality or, more accurately, their fax account. In at least some embodiments, fax accounts also provide users with an infrastructure through which they can manage their documents. In addition, in at least some embodiments, fax accounts can be used to manage and direct received faxes to the intended recipient, thus reducing the possibility of an unintended recipient gaining access to the fax.

Fax accounts

A rich, robust fax addressing experience is provided for users. In some embodiments, multiple different ways of addressing a fax and related functionality are exposed to a user and work seamlessly together to give a compelling addressing experience. In some embodiments, a fax application can resolve recipient names and/or numbers. Additionally, a user can type in a fax number and have that number resolved as a valid number. Further, some embodiments can provide a user interface that is designed to help a user compose a fax number, thus ensuring that the number is in the proper format. In some embodiments, the fax application can allow the user to choose from among a number of different address books and then employ the chosen address book in the fax addressing experience.
